Cosmo's Food for Thought

Some new names to say thank you to.....Will, Joe, Margaret, Debbie, Rick, Terry, Justin, Darryl, and more that I need to see again, to recall their names.....lol.... Have to say a special thank you to Diane L. and let her know that while we did not always see eye to eye on all things, we always had each other's back and I will miss her......Prayers for a complete healing and a deserved rest......We are still evolving and having fun along the way for which I am very happy about.....The Men's Ministry which will continue to meet here on Saturday's through November 5th has been averaging 12 guys and what a blessing they are.....Any man is welcome and we even provide some breakfast to enjoy....We are now offering delivery starting @ 8 am and running through lunch until 2 pm.... We hope that this service will help to get our food out to more & more of the local businesses.....We are still offering our '$2. Breakfast Special' - 2 Eggs, Home Fries & Toast!... Thi...

Well it's almost Halloween & we are hoping the rest of the year provides more 'treats' than 'tricks'!.... This has been an interesting run here @ the Cafe....Every time we think we are gaining we seem to fall back again....It is very discouraging @ times, but I do have faith that this 'place' will eventually sustain it self....We are building a brand and a client base, but we can not seem to get the consistency of weekly sales that we need.....Please don't get me wrong with this all said, it only makes the challenges a little harder and hopefully the rewards will be even greater.....I continually pray that God will bring us through these rough first months and that we will become a success.....It will always be to His glory and His will be done no matter the outcome.....This week we will offer an Italian bread pepperoni pizza as a special which will include chicken wings & a beverage!.....Our soups are starting to 'catch on' as the wea...

We had a great sales day today, (Friday 11/4) our best so far!....We sold out of fish & mac & cheese... Thanks to all.....All things must come to an end and so goes our '$2. Breakfast Special'....The last day of the year we will bid it adieu.....We believe we have a great breakfast menu @ great prices & hope that this 'special' led people to try us out and will keep them coming back.....A business can not offer a 'loss leader' forever and survive and so we must move on.....This Saturday was our final Men's Meeting @ the Cafe and next week we will return to our church, Liverpool Community......It has been a good time of Men's fellowship and sharing and learning about what God has for us.... Now we move on to the winter season and more challenges.....Hopefully our free delivery will get 'folks' to order in!....We have some coupons now in the 'Clipper Magazine' and have already gotten some new customers through them....I am ver...

If you are a 'regular reader' of this blog than you won't be shocked to see that 'GOD' is part of me and I am not ashamed to proclaim my love to HIM when I write.....We sang a song in church today (which is one my favorites) 'How He Loves' and it is all about His love for us!.....It is unconditional and gives me 'goose bumps' to know that this love is bigger than any we can feel towards one another.....Now think about that......Bigger than a love for our spouse, Bigger than our love for our children, Bigger than our love for our Mother and Father, our Grand Children, Grand Parents and all of that love pushed together is still just a teaspoon in God's ocean of love!.....Wow, how can we not be humbled and joyful?.....The sermon today was from Romans and how God will never forsake us and even when the storms come, and they will, we can always be assured that He is with us and Loves us, All.....and......Always.....Thank you for that promise for now ...

Well we have a new team in place and I thank God for answered prayers.....Stan, Barbara and Kiki are our new 'faces'......I believe that we have begun a new phase in the continuation of building this 'Cafe'....As the quote goes "the help can make or break you"....We have been very fortunate to have had a staff that were all 'makers' and these new 'guys' are going to keep that going!.......This is the perfect time to build on all the efforts of those past and the ideas and enthusiasm of those present...... Some new names of our customers that I now have entered into my 'memory bank'  Jim, Bruce, Doug, Frank, Rich, Tony, Paul, Vicky, Mark and Lenny....Thanks to all for allowing me to share and for all your support and prayers......Happy Thanksgiving.....

December got off to a little rough start.....My back problem (spinal stenosis) kicked in and it has made for a very painful week....Trying to get our new team working together and preparing for the Cafe's first catered event this past Saturday was stressful.....Thanks to Ella Mae, who made the chocolate chip cookies and coffee cakes and stayed with me to set up and take down, all went well.....She has always been there for me and this time it was no different......I love her for all she does to support me even when she has her own set of responsibilities.... I need to thank Stan, Barbara & Kiki for 'hanging in' with me.....We had some very busy mornings & they proved they could withstand the pressure!.......We have new owners who have purchased the 'Pickard Building'......I don't know many details, but I can only hope that this will have a positive effect for us all......This business is still a 'work in progress' and while we have made some g...

We are 1/2 way through the week and have already endured some new challenges and opportunities!.........When my leg pain heals I will even be more 'ready to roll' into the new year!........We will be off and running with our new team and with more opportunities and all be equipped to hit the challenges head on!....With all the trials of running a small business this is still my passion.....We will continue to grow this 'Cafe' and make it a profitable and a worthy place to come and enjoy a meal for all....... We will introduce a new breakfast special that is a$1. savings off the regular menu price and we will feature it.... All Day...Everyday! This new 'Everyday Breakfast Special' will begin the first week of January...                  'Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich'                       ...
